Wanted: Suspect for Theft from Auto in the 22nd District [VIDEO]

Central Detective Division is looking to identify the suspect for a theft from auto in North Central.

On April 11, 2014, the complainant, a 66 year-old female, parked her vehicle, a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, outside her residence on the 15xx block of West Thompson Street. When she returned to her vehicle she noticed that her convertible top had been cut open on the passenger side. The complainant later viewed her surveillance video which depicted an unknown male at 4:00am, approach her vehicle and cutting the roof open and had entered the vehicle through the top. Once inside the suspect removed $20 in change then fled the area in an unknown direction.
